<h2>Chris Evans Supports Quentin Tarantino's View on Marvel Films, Emphasizing the Significance of Characters.</h2>
Chris Evans, recognized for his portrayal of Captain America, has maintained a relatively low-profile existence within the Marvel universe. In a recent GQ feature, Evans graciously shared glimpses of his life post-Marvel era.
During the discussion, Evans openly concurs with Quentin Tarantino's unconventional stance that Marvel actors don't conform to conventional "movie star" standards. Reflecting on his time as Captain America, Evans confided in GQ, "That was the beauty of working on Marvel films. You never really had to be front and center. Even in your films sometimes. Quentin Tarantino said it recently, and I was like, he&rsquo;s right. The character is the star. You&rsquo;re there, but don&rsquo;t feel the burden of it.&rdquo;
Contrastingly, Kevin Feige interjected in the conversation, offering an alternate viewpoint. He told the publication, "I think it&rsquo;s something [Chris] was telling himself, and I think it&rsquo;s something many of the Avengers, including Robert, would tell themselves, which was very helpful to the process. But it's not entirely true in certain cases, including Chris&rsquo;.&rdquo;
Evans took on the mantle of Steve Rogers/Captain America in 2011 and departed the franchise in 2019. While bidding farewell, he has previously stated that he won't entirely discount the possibility of a return, stating, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll never say never, just because it was such a wonderful experience. But I&rsquo;m also very precious with it. It&rsquo;s something that I am very proud of. And, like I said, sometimes I can&rsquo;t believe it happened. And I wouldn&rsquo;t want the black eye if it felt like a cash grab, didn&rsquo;t live up to expectations, or just felt like it wasn&rsquo;t connected to that original thing. So, no time soon.&rdquo;
Evans also hinted that reducing acting commitments has empowered him to be more discerning in his roles, focusing on considerations like filming schedules. Having been a part of the Marvel franchise for an impressive 11 years, he is slated to star alongside Emily Blunt in Netflix&rsquo;s "Pain Hustlers," set to premiere on October 20.

<h2><a title="Leslie Jones" href="https://www.projectcasting.com/blog/tag/leslie-jones/">Leslie Jones</a> Reflects on Her 'SNL' Experience: Embracing the Show's Dynamic.</h2>
In a recent NPR interview, Leslie Jones candidly discussed her time on "Saturday Night Live," acknowledging that the nature of the NBC sketch comedy series inevitably molded her into a more amplified version of herself. From 2014 to 2019, Jones served as both a writer and cast member on the show, earning acclaim with two Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
"Comedy has been my craft for so long, and I've come to understand my comedic identity," Jones expressed. "On 'SNL,' they take that essence and amplify it because that's the nature of the beast. So whatever I'm delivering that they find resonant, they amplify it to the nth degree."
"It became this sort of caricature of me, you know what I mean?" Jones reflected. "So it boiled down to either I'm showcasing affection for the white guys, or I'm engaging in some lively confrontation with them, or I'm just being outrageously boisterous. I knew this would be the outcome because I comprehend the influence of these portrayals."
Jones clarified that she harbors no ill feelings towards "SNL." She recounted a conversation with a former cast member who imparted that this transformative process is par for the course for anyone on the show.
"As I look back, it hits me, 'Ah, yes, just like Taran Killam!'" she remarked. "Taran aspired to explore a variety of roles, yet he found himself largely confined to these hyper-masculine characters and musical performances. It was an eye-opener for me. This is a mechanism."
Furthermore, Jones emphasized her deep respect and affection for the show's creator, Lorne Michaels.
"I always used to say, 'He's the puppet master.' He's got to balance the contentment of the cast, the writers, the Writers Guild of America, NBC, and even a family in Omaha, Nebraska, who's tuning in," she noted. "Imagine the multitude of threads he has to manage? It's a well-oiled machine that needs to function, you know?"
Since bidding farewell to "SNL," Jones has taken on hosting duties for "Supermarket Sweep" and graced the screens in notable productions like Prime Video's "Coming 2 America" and the comedic series "Our Flag Means Death" on Max. This month, she's been actively promoting her newly released memoir, "Leslie F*cking Jones," now available for purchase.

<h2>Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White's Film 'Iron Claw' Secures SAG-AFTRA Interim Agreement.</h2>
In support, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has granted an interim agreement for the forthcoming sports drama, "The Iron Claw," featuring Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White. This allows the film's stars to engage in promotional activities worldwide ahead of its anticipated holiday season release.
"The Iron Claw" delves into the gripping narrative of the Von Erichs, an American wrestling dynasty, and follows the lives of brothers Kevin and Kerry Von Erich, portrayed by Efron and White, who earned their place in the WWE Hall of Fame through their remarkable performances in the wrestling arena during the '80s and '90s. Helmed by Sean Durkin, known for "Martha Marcy May Marlene," the film weaves a tale of extraordinary athleticism intertwined with a series of personal tragedies that befell the family, colloquially known as the "Von Erich curse" during its time.
The ensemble cast includes Harris Dickinson, Stanley Simons, Holt McCallany, Maura Tierney, and Lily James. "The Iron Claw," slated for release on December 22, is poised to offer a distinct alternative to Universal and Illumination's animated comedy, "Migration." Subsequently, it will be followed by highly anticipated blockbusters, "Aquaman 2" and the glorious Warner Bros. musical, "The Color Purple."
Tessa Ross, Juliette Howell, and Angus Lamont of House Productions are producing this venture, along with Durkin and A24. Derrin Schlesinger, Harrison Huffman, Len Blavatnik, Danny Cohen, and Eva Yates take on the roles of executive producers.
The project was nurtured by House Productions, with backing from Access Entertainment and BBC Film, who also joined forces in co-financing. A24 assumes the role of both producer and financier for the film.

<h2>WGA and AMPTP Continue Contract Talks Amidst Growing Optimism.</h2>
The Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) are set to convene for a third consecutive day of negotiations on Friday, marking a pivotal juncture in Hollywood's labor dispute. While there is increasing hope for a resolution, concerns persist as critical issues remain unresolved in the nearly five-month strike.
In a recent update to its members, the WGA confirmed the ongoing negotiations, expressing gratitude for the outpouring of support and solidarity received in recent days. They also urged as many members as possible to participate in picket lines during the upcoming session.
Since the strike commenced on May 2, the industry has eagerly anticipated a potential breakthrough in negotiations. Speculation circulated within the creative community on Thursday, suggesting an agreement between the studios and writers could be imminent by early evening. However, reliable sources close to the situation clarified that significant matters and negotiation points are still under discussion. As of Wednesday, the guild had yet to indicate that the current terms were sufficient to bring the strike, which is entering its 144th day on Friday, to a close.
Optimism was fueled by the presence of CEOs and senior leaders from major Hollywood studios, including Disney's Bob Iger, Netflix's Ted Sarandos, NBCUniversal's Donna Langley, and Warner Bros. Discovery's David Zaslav. Their participation expedites the exchange between management and labor in resolving the most contentious contract issues. There are indications of progress towards a compromise regarding the WGA's request for a revised minimum staffing formula for writers working on episodic TV programs.
Additional topics discussed on Thursday encompassed the intricate matter of regulating the use of generative artificial intelligence in screenwriting and the WGA's advocacy for including in the master film and TV contract the right for its members to support strikes and picket lines of other unions.
After a month-long hiatus, negotiations between the WGA and AMPTP resumed on September 20. The presence of executive leaders was intended to underscore their dedication to reaching an agreement. On Thursday evening, sources revealed that some last-minute concerns arose regarding what the management side perceived as new negotiation points raised by the WGA. This led to extended discussions, concluding around 7:30 p.m.
Plans for a third day of negotiations were confirmed shortly before the WGA's communication to its members at 9:45 p.m. PT. It remains uncertain whether the CEOs will reconvene at AMPTP headquarters in Sherman Oaks for a third day of bargaining.

<h2><a href="https://www.projectcasting.com/blog/tag/netflix/">Netflix</a> Unveils "Squid Game: The Challenge" Trailer, Showcasing 456 Contestants Vying for $4.56 Million Prize.</h2>
Netflix has dropped the highly-anticipated trailer for their forthcoming reality series inspired by "Squid Game," revealing a premiere date of November 22. This announcement was first made during their Tudu fan event earlier this summer.
In "Squid Game: The Challenge," a global roster of 456 participants will engage in a series of challenges drawing inspiration from the original Korean game show while introducing new elements. The ultimate victor will walk away with a staggering $4.56 million prize money.
While the stakes aren't as dire as in the fictional version of "Squid Game," the logline emphasizes that there's still a tremendous amount at risk. "456 players will compete to win $4.56 million, the largest cash prize in reality television history. Through games, each player will be pushed to their limits and forced to ask themselves how far they'll go to win, with opportunistic alliances, cutthroat strategies, and timely betrayals to follow."
Regrettably, the production has faced its share of controversy after contestants required medical attention during filming, which took place unexpectedly during a cold spell in the U.K. As reported by Variety, several contestants who were not reimbursed for their participation experienced collapses on set due to a combination of cold weather and fatigue.
Studio Lambert helms the show, the same production company behind the popular game show "The Traitors," in collaboration with The Garden.

<h2><a title="Amazon Prime Video" href="https://www.projectcasting.com/blog/tag/amazon/">Amazon Prime Video</a>, known for its ad-free streaming experience, is set to introduce commercial breaks early next year, marking a significant shift in its approach.&nbsp;</h2>
This move aligns Amazon with other major streaming platforms like Disney+, Netflix, and Warner Bros. Discovery&rsquo;s Max, which have already adopted ad-supported tiers. Tim Hanlon, CEO of Vertere Group, points out that aggressive monetization efforts have historically driven the TV industry.
Amazon has stated that it intends to feature fewer ads than traditional broadcasters or broadband rivals, with an approximate benchmark of four minutes of ad time per hour on the streaming platform. Initially, commercials will roll out in the U.S., U.K., Germany, and Canada in early 2024, followed by France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Australia later. For those who prefer an ad-free experience on Amazon Prime Video, this option will still be available for an additional $2.99 per month in the U.S., on top of the annual subscription to Amazon&rsquo;s overall Prime service.
Notably, this shift comes as the media sector increasingly recognizes streaming video as the future of entertainment. Companies like NBCUniversal and Apple have been racing to provide a wide range of content to cater to audiences moving away from traditional broadcast or cable TV. However, this transition comes with significant costs, involving substantial investments in content creation and infrastructure. Investors are now keenly interested in when these ventures will become profitable.
Even stalwarts like Netflix, which had long resisted the inclusion of commercials, have felt the pressure to consider advertising as a revenue source. Amazon justifies this decision to sustain investments in compelling content over an extended period. Their acquisition of MGM Studios for $8.5 billion in 2021 and securing the rights to the NFL&rsquo;s &ldquo;Thursday Night Football&rdquo; demonstrates their commitment to content excellence.
Historically, major media companies like <a href="https://www.projectcasting.com/blog/tag/cbs/">CBS</a> and <a title="Disney" href="https://www.projectcasting.com/blog/tag/disney/">Disney</a> have thrived on dual revenue streams: advertising and subscription fees from cable and satellite providers. Initially launched with minimal or no ads, streaming services have disrupted this revenue model. Tim Hanlon emphasizes the ideal media business model as one where revenue is generated from both subscribers and advertising.
While Amazon already incorporates ads in its Freevee service, which allows users to access content in exchange for ad views, this move into Prime Video signifies a significant shift. The addition of commercials on streaming services could lead to concerns about increased ad frequency, mirroring the trends seen on traditional TV networks. Hanlon anticipates that commercials in streaming environments may become more prevalent over time, with larger ad loads and additional opportunities for advertisers.
Ultimately, as streaming platforms increasingly embrace advertising, it will be crucial for companies to manage the flow of commercials effectively. An excessive barrage of ads should not taint consumers&rsquo; perception of streaming media. Hanlon cautions that while advertising can address specific issues, it may inadvertently exacerbate others. Apple TV+ is an exception, choosing not to include ads in its scripted programs.

<h2>Production has commenced in Australia for <a title="Netflix's" href="https://www.projectcasting.com/blog/tag/netflix/">Netflix's</a> neo-western drama series, "Desert King," marking it as one of the streaming platform's prestigious offerings in the Asia-Pacific region.&nbsp;</h2>
The narrative revolves around the dynamics of wealth and influence in the rugged Outback territories of Australia, with filming locations spanning the remote Northern Territory and the vicinity of Adelaide, South Australia.
The plot unfolds when the world's largest cattle station faces an uncertain future without an apparent heir, leading to intergenerational conflicts that jeopardize the unity of the Lawson family. Sensing the decline of this once-mighty dynasty, various influential factions of the Outback&mdash;including rival cattle magnates, desert underworld figures, Indigenous leaders, and affluent miners&mdash;seize the opportunity to assert their dominance, as described in the streamer's logline.
Helmed by Greg McLean of "La Brea" fame, the series is a collaborative effort between Easy Tiger and Ronde. Its inception is credited to Tim Lee, known for works like "Mystery Road" and "Bump," along with Ben Davies. Executive production duties are shouldered by Ben Davies, Rob Gibson, and Ian Collie, while Paul Ranford, recognized for projects like "Stateless" and "True History of the Kelly Gang," takes on the role of producer.
As reported by Variety, the shooting will unfold on the ancestral lands of the Larrakia people (Darwin, Northern Territory) and the Kaurna people (Adelaide, South Australia). Before commencement, Netflix and Screen Territory collaborated on the First Nations Production Ready Bootcamp, a program designed to equip ten First Nations participants with a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of screen production, along with preparation for apprentice and attachment roles.
Post-production activities are underway in South Australia, facilitated by the SAFC&rsquo;s SA Post-Production, Digital, and Visual Effects (PDV) Rebate.
"Desert King" encapsulates immense landscapes, staggering fortunes, and the gripping theatrics accompanying them. Que Minh Luu, Netflix's Director of Content ANZ, expressed enthusiasm about shooting this premium Australian series in the Northern Territory for the first time. In this epic family drama, the setting aligns with the world-class production facilities in South Australia, offering a portrayal of the country that evokes pride in both domestic and global audiences.
Executive producers Davies and Gibson echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the unique blend of timeless tradition and modernity inherent in the Top End, a locale where the terrain is not only the essence of life and livelihood but also harbors mortal risks.
The project garners support from the Northern Territory Government&rsquo;s Production Attraction Incentive Program (PAIP) and secures South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC) funding through the SAFC Screen Production Fund.

<h2>Warner Bros. Discovery Announces Major Expansion for DC Studios at Leavesden Studios.</h2>
In a strategic move, Warner Bros. Discovery is set to significantly amplify its production capabilities at Leavesden Studios, establishing it as the central hub for DC Studios projects. The renowned studio, located just outside central London, unveiled plans to introduce ten new cutting-edge soundstages and an additional 400,000 square feet of production and auxiliary facilities. Anticipated to commence construction in the second quarter of 2024, the expansion is slated for completion in 2027.
Upon completion, Leavesden Studios will boast an impressive 29 stages and an expansive 1.78 million square feet of production space. The co-chief executives of DC Studios, James Gunn and Peter Safran, will offer their expertise as consultants for this ambitious project. Noteworthy recent productions at this location include "Barbie," "House of the Dragon," and the eagerly awaited DC feature film, "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom."
Simon Robinson, Chief Operating Officer of Warner Bros. Discovery, expressed enthusiasm about the expansion, stating, "Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden is globally recognized for its exceptional soundstages and facilities, and with this planned expansion adding significant capacity and capabilities, it will be home to even more incredible storytelling for both film and television projects. We are proud to be growing our productions in Leavesden and making it the main hub for DC Studios and growing our economic and community contributions to the U.K.&rsquo;s creative sector."
The U.K. has emerged as a prominent center for studios and streaming platforms, propelled by advantageous tax incentives and its proximity to a vast talent pool. In 2019, production revenue reached an all-time high of $4.7 billion. However, the availability of studio space has struggled to keep pace with demand, though this concern was alleviated to some extent when content spending decreased last year.
In March, the British government announced increased financial incentives to entice production further. Under this restructuring, films and high-end TV projects will benefit from a 34 percent expenditure credit, superseding the previous 25 percent tax rebate model. Notable TV series shot in Britain include "The Crown" and "Peaky Blinders."
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt, commended Warner Bros. Discovery's ambitious expansion plan, stating, "Warner Bros. Discovery&rsquo;s ambitious plan to grow its Leavesden studio is a huge vote of confidence in the U.K. &mdash; creating thousands of jobs and growing our economy &mdash; and means that British-made entertainment will continue to delight and entertain global audiences."
Warner Bros. Discovery envisions that this expansion will create 4,000 new jobs across the U.K. and bolster WBSL&rsquo;s contribution to the economy by over &pound;200 million. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt visited the lot to meet with Simon Robinson and Dan Dark, Executive Vice President of Worldwide Studio Operations, as confirmed by sources familiar with the meeting.

<h2>Jennifer Grey was offered a role in ABC's upcoming television movie, but respectfully declined.</h2>
“I was asked to do something on that show, and I was flattered because I always want to be asked because it’s nice to want to be included,” she <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/jennifer-grey-passed-abcs-dirty-917878" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Hollywood Reporter. “But for me, it would be sacrosanct for me to do it because it didn’t feel appropriate to me.”

Grey explained to reporters that reboots should stand on their own. “If feels like if you’re going to do your own thing, do your own thing. I wouldn’t say [what role I was offered], but I will tell you, it wasn’t Baby!”

Replacing Jennifer Gray is Abigail Breslin from Little Miss Sunshine, and Scream Queens alongside Sarah Hyland, Bruce Greenwood and Debra Messing. The Dirty Dancing reboot will also replace Patrick Swayze with Colt Prattes.

Despite not appearing in the TV movie, Grey is excited to see the new production.
“I am always interested in any iteration of something where they feel there’s more to be gotten, and I would love to see what they come up with...Tommy Kail (Hamilton) directed it, and I’m obsessed with Hamilton, so that’s thrilling to me. I think they’ve got wonderful actors in it. I’m going to be watching it, and I’m excited. My only advice is to own it for yourself because we all just do our interpretation, and I’m only flattered and excited for people who are excited enough to put their stamp on it and see what they make of it and how they make it their own.”
Filming for ABC's Dirty Dancing took place in Wilmington, North Carolina back in May. The new ‘Dirty Dancing’ remake will be a three-episode TV miniseries on ABC. The TV miniseries will feature a “night of singing and dancing as we update the classic film ‘Dirty Dancing’ as a three-hour event.” According to our previous report, <a href="https://www.projectcasting.com/blog/news/abcs-dirty-dancing-remake-to-hire-over-900-extras">Dirty Dancing</a> will will create 1,225 jobs in North Carolina including 900 extras, 30 cast members and 225 “crew/full time” jobs.
